Outside Sales Employees

The outside sales exemption applies to an employee who meets both of the following requirements:

• The employee's primary duty is making sales or obtaining orders or contracts for services, or for the use of facilities, for which clients or customers pay compensation.
• The employee is customarily or regularly engaged in these activities away from the employer's place of business.

An outside sales employee typically makes sales at the customer's place of business or home, if selling door-to-door. The outside sales exemption does not have a minimum salary requirement.
